Agenda item

Erection of 23 sheltered accommodation flats with one office.

The Principal Planning Officer introduced the report and informed Members that, since publication of the agenda, one further letter of objection had been received.  The letter raised similar concerns to those outlined by other objectors, as detailed in paragraph 4.1 of the report expressing concern about the scale of building and level of support to occupiers; however, these matters had been addressed in the report.

Members were also informed that amended plans had been submitted that slightly altered the elevation treatments to the scheme; however, they were relatively minor and altered the scheme to comply with building and fire regulations and required the insertion of a door to a stairwell as a means of escape, which would be in the Carlton Road elevation.

As a result, there was a need to update the drawing numbers at condition 2.

In all other respects, the conditions were intended to remain as drafted.

Councillor Adams left the meeting at 6.15pm.
